She is terrific in appearance with those almost symmetrical face markings and her "eyebrows" are lovely. Raising the level of energy at your place like it isn't high enuf' Nothing like a puppy to remind everyone to put things away-what a joy for you.

Update

Just a real quick update on Tyra.

She is doing soooooo well! I am so proud of her! She goes to bed in her crate with no more than a minute of half-hearted whining, then sleeps through the night. Her last call outside is around 10:00 at night; her first time out is when I get up at 4:00 am. So far no accidents in her crate. She is also very obvious when she has to go out during the day with her circling, even to pee, so she also has had no accidents in the house outside of her crate. She is just a little puppy, so this kind of luck is subject to change at any time, but for now we are celebrating with her.

Tyra has also mastered going down the stairs from the deck to the ground! She now goes both up and down like a little pro. I just think she watched the adults and figured if they can do it, she can do it; don't want to miss out on anything you know. The only thing we have to work on is convincing her to pee on the ground rather than the deck. Right now she immediately pees the second she is on the deck, then goes down to the ground with the rest of the dogs.

Tyra is also far more a people dog than a dog dog. She constantly wants to be on someone's (doesn't matter who) lap. And once there, she goes to work licking licking all over the persons face. That gets a little annoying after a while and we are trying to gently break her of that. She plays with the adults a little bit, but not as much as most of our previous puppies have. I'm thinking she is still brand new in the house and just needs to get used to the rest of our crew. Time will tell.

So, all in all, we are very pleased with her. I sure hope she continues to develop the way she has been so we can start showing her at some of the local AKC shows when she hits 6 months. In another month or so, I'll start taking her to puppy kindergarten to start getting her used to being around other people and dogs.
